Recipes

I've been thinking about eating natural growing vegetables, such as poke. I have found some recipes but would like to hear from others who have eaten the plant before. I have found that it can only be eaten in spring because of the toxins in it as it gets bigger. I was just thinking that I could buy large quanties of stuff like flour, meal, beans, stuff like that and eat cheap and still have some grocery money left over. We could probably eat for a month on what one weeks grocery bill is now. Now that's a thought. And I may start riding my bike to work regardless of the weather, saving on gas. I would buy a bicycle to ride but I'm not that gung ho on saving gas. They have scooters that get over 70 mpg. My Honda only gets 50. The Yamaha probably gets more because it's smaller. But I'm not going out to buy a scooter. I'm not that desperate yet. What would we do if we lost all electricity, water, etc...I printed out instructions today on how to purify water to make it safe to drink. Don't know what's gotten into me. I guess I'm just preparing for hard times ahead. I'll miss the a/c, computer, tv, and all the stuff that will go with it. I guess I'll miss it as much as anybody. But life will have to go on and I'm sure alot of people would die because they were allergic to the hard work that would have to be done in order to survive. I'm trying to psyche myself up to be ready if that happens. I don't know if it's a premonition or what. But you have to admit, it would be good to be prepared if it did happen. Anyway, send me your recipes! I want to try them!!!
